The proposed bill would update current traffic laws by introducing provisions for the installation of speed inhibiting devices as an alternative to license suspension or revocation for certain traffic offenses. Specifically, it would allow courts to mandate these devices for durations based on the offense, such as 90 days for racing and up to one year for repeat offenders. Offenders would be responsible for the costs associated with the installation and maintenance of these devices. Additionally, the bill would require manufacturers to submit electronic proof of installation and ongoing calibration to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), while establishing penalties for operating a vehicle without a required device.

Furthermore, the bill would clarify the responsibilities of individuals and manufacturers regarding speed inhibiting devices, including the requirement for individuals to inform anyone from whom they rent or borrow a vehicle about their obligation to use such a device. It would also limit manufacturer liability for damages unless they knowingly perform improper repairs. Overall, these updates aim to enhance road safety by ensuring that individuals with excessive speeding histories are effectively monitored and restricted from violating speed limits.
